I am looking for what might be the best digital camera of 2011 and something that will be 200$ and under and small that I can take on trips (like hiking or camping) and not have to worry about

"New EXR Auto with a Motion Detection capability to virtually reduce subject blur in all lighting conditions. The built-in GPS functionality adds a Landmark Navigator feature to help photographers pin-point locations and the 15x wide-angle optical zoom lens now doubles its telephoto power (to 30x) thanks to the new intelligent digital zoom mode."
It also adds a new textured finish on the black model and features a 16 megapixel EXR CMOS sensor, 15x optical zoom lens, 3 inch screen, GPS and RAW support. (As this camera is so similar to the predecessor, this review is based on the F550 EXR Review).
Fujifilm FinePix F600EXR Features
The Fujifilm FinePix F600EXR sits at the top of the range in Fujifilm's line-up of pocket-zoom / travel-zoom cameras and features a wide angle 15x optical zoom lens, equivalent to 24-360mm.
Another feature of the F600 is a 16 megapixel CMOS sensor for high speed shooting and Fuji's unique EXR pixel arrangement to give three modes of operation: HR: High Resolution (uses all pixels to make a 16 megapixel images), SN: High Sensitivity for high ISO, low noise at 8 megapixels and DR: for dynamic range improvements (upto 1600% now available), at 8 megapixels.
The F600 and F550 goes beyond what the F500 offers, by including manual controls and RAW support and GPS support. If you don't need or want these features you can save some money by going for the Fujifilm FinePix F500 EXR instead. Both cameras are capable of recording Full HD video with optical zoom and stereo sound.
GPS options are further enhanced on the F600EXR with the following GPS options: GPS On (permanently), On (when camera switched on), Off. Location info ON/OFF. Auto time correction (On without summertime, with summertime, or off), GPS Tracking data on/off (creates a text document on the memory card with GPS information). GPS KM/Mile setting.
In playback you can access landmark navigator, this gives you a compass when the camera is pointed down or a view of GPS landmarks such as public facilities, tourist spots, leisure spots and my landmark. GPS Photo Navigation is another option. You can copy the location info, or search images by date, GPS location name, face, favourites, scene, type of data, or by upload mark (Youtube or Facebook).

Fujifilm FinePix F600EXR Handling
Despite being quite a compact camera, it features a rubber front grip, along with a textured / rubberised body. There is also another rubber grip on the back of the camera, although they are simply rubber spots where your thumb rests. This design gives good grip generally, although a tripod may still be necessary when using the full optical zoom.
On the back is an easy to use slanted mode dial and a number of buttons on the back provide quick access to the main modes, including playback and video modes. The video button is quite large, however it felt a little spongy which meant I occasionally wondered whether the camera had started recording.
Fujifilm FinePix F600 EXR - virtually the same to look at, except the F600 has a pop-up button for the flash. This also means you can close the flash more easily than the previous model. The camera features a stylish metal body, with a metal tripod mount.
The F600 is really quite compact for a camera with such a large zoom and it's just the lens that protrudes out of the camera when off, meaning it will easily fit into the more compact camera cases such as the Tamrac Neo 14 (possibly one of the smallest cases available for this camera) with a very snug fit.
Menus: The Fujifilm FinePix F600 menus are quite straightforward, with the main controls split into photo menus and setup menus. Another set of options can be changed by using the F button on the back of the camera, this gives quick access to: ISO, Image size, Continuous shooting, GPS settings, Advanced anti blur and film simulation. Although the availability of the options are dependant on the mode you are currently in. More advanced GPS options, IS mode selection, Red-eye removal and RAW options are available in the setup menu, including the option to save the original image - this works when using red-eye removal, pro focus, pro low-light and motion panorama modes.

which camera is better?
Krazykid
Would you say the Canon EOS Digital Rebel or the Olympus E-PM1 is better? Reviews on either?
Answer
You can visit Digital Photography Review for a more in-depth answer to decipher which one of these cameras is better or if you're interested in just the specifications, then the second sourced link below should give you a points system value to make up your mind.
As with the previous poster, both of these cameras are different.
The E-PM1 was released in June 2011, whereas the Digital Rebel was in August 2003. First glance of this information, I'm sure a lot has happened in 8 years or so and the E-PM1 may well have some features that the Digital Rebel does not have based on the comparison chart.
The EOS Digital Rebel is an categorised as an Entry-Level DSLR, whereas the Olympus is a Hybrid SLR based upon the Interchangeable lens and it is also Mirrorless.
Cost-wise, the Olympus is cheaper, but the price may not be comparable due to the gap in time and depreciation.
The Nikon has a larger APS-C sensor than the Olympus despite it being 8 years old, with 162 lens available on the market as opposed to only 26 for Olympus and also a better battery life based on the Pentamirror where the Olympus does not have it.
In conclusion, the Olympus is a slightly better camera, as it can record video in full HD and at 60 fps, whereas the Digital Rebel does not have that capability. The camera also has built-in image stabilisation built into the body, almost double the Megapixel range. Although you can take really good images at around 5 to 7MP; so having extra MP is generally a marketing ploy and relies mostly upon the lens.
The Olympus has a higher ISO range, shoots faster shots, weighs almost one third of that of the Canon; and also smaller in size.
